IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, or injury to persons

when using your appliance, follow

basic precautions, including the follow-

ing:

1. Read these operating instructions be-

fore using your dryer for the first

time, as this is for your own safety

and for the protection of your ma-

chine.

2. Remember to remove the door when

disposing of an old machine to pre-

vent children from accidently locking

themselves in the machine and en-

dangering their lives.

3. Do not install or store this appliance

where it will be exposed to the

weather.

4. Do not install your dryer in rooms

where freezing temperatures may

occur. The reliability of the electronic

control system may be impaired.

5. This machine should only be used for

drying the following fabrics:

– Items which can be machine dried

as specified by the laundry care

label.

– Items which have been washed in

water.

6. The following fabrics pose a fire ha-

zard:

– Items which contain foam rubber,

rubber or rubberlike components.

– Items which have been treated with

inflammable cleaning agents, such

as gasoline or dry-cleaning solvents.

– Items containing hair lacquer, hair-

spray, nail polish remover or similar

substances.

7. Clean the lint filter before and after

each load.

8. Do not dry articles that have been

previously cleaned in, washed in,

soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents, other flamm-

able or explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

9. Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision of

children is necessary when the ap-

pliance is used near the children.

10.To avoid back-pressure or accumula-

tion of exhaust fumes, provide ade-

quate room ventilation, by means of

permanent vents or an open window.

11.Always close the door after use to

prevent children from leaning on the

door and causing the dryer to tilt.

12.Keep area around the exhaust open-

ing and adjacent surrounding areas

free from accumulation of lint, dust

and dirt.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13.The interior of the machine and ex-

haust duct should be cleaned peri-

odically by qualified personnel.

14.Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

15.Do not tamper with controls.

16.Do not repair or place any part of the

appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

the user maintenance instruction or

in published user repair instructions

that you understand and have the

skills to carry out.

Repairs to electrical appliances

should only carried out by qualified

personnel.

Incorrectly repaired machines may

pose a considerable risk to the user.

17.Formation of lint.

Lint is principally the result of friction

when items are worn and washed.

Machine-drying hardly causes any

lint to form and, as has been estab-

lished by reseach institutes, has no

effect on the lifetime of fabrics.

18.Warning - Do not use fabric sof-

tener/anti static dryer sheets.

Residues from these products block-

up (clog) the lint filter causing prema-

ture failure of the dryer.

Miele dryers are designed to dry

laundry without static cling. How-

ever, should fabric softener be re-

quired, use liquid fabric softener in

the wash cycle.

Clean lint filter mesh monthly by wash-

ing/scrubbing with hot soap and

water.

19.Do not place items exposed to cook-

ing oils in your dryer. Items con-

taimed with cooking oils may contrib-

ute to a chemical reaction that could

cause a load to catch fire.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For grounding and electrical connec-

tion instructions, refer to the electri-

cal connection section.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your contribution to the environment

Disposal of the packing ma-

terial.

The transport and protective packing is

mostly manufactured from the following

recycled or re-useable materials:

– corrugated paper/cardboard

– polystyrene - CFC-free

– polyethylene foil (transparent)

– untreated wood

– fiber board

Please check local environmental regu-

lations before disposing of packing ma-

terials and discarding the appliance.

Disposal of your old machine.

Old machines contain materials which

can be recycled. Please contact your

recycling center or scrap merchant

and render the machine inoperative as

per the “Important Safety Instructions”

before disposing of the appliance.

Your contribution to the environment

Loading and unloading the machine

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons,

read the IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-

STRUCTIONS before operating this ap-

pliance.

Load the laundry loosely into the

drum.

Duvet covers and pillowcases

should be fastened before drying in

order to prevent small items from roll-

ing inside of them.

Important: Check that laundry can-

not be trapped by the door as this

may cause damage to the fabric.

If the wash is not removed at the end

of the drying program, the machine

will automatically enter the anti-

crease cycle for 60 minutes. This en-

tails the drum being rotated at short

intervals in order to reduce the forma-

tion of creases.

Once the laundry has been

removed, check that the drum is

empty. Any items left in the drum

could be damaged through over-

drying during the next program.

Clean the lint filter after each drying

cycle to prevent excessive energy

consumption, longer program times

and the risk of fire.

The door should always be closed

after use.

Loading and unloading the machine

Notes on laundry care

Before drying, check the instructions

on the fabric care label.

The following fabrics should not be

dried in a tumble dryer:

– Woollens and wool blends

These fabrics tend to become matted

and shrink.

– Items filled with down

The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,

depending on the quality of the item

involved.

– Pure linen

These items should only be machine-

dried if specified as suitable by the

manufacturer on the textile care label.

The surface of the fabric may other-

wise tend to become “rough”.

Miele dryers have been designed to

dry laundry free of static cling, without

the use of dryer softener sheets or simi-

lar products. The dryer continuously

monitors the moisture content of the

laundry, and automatically shuts off the

heat when the selected degree of dry-

ness is reached. Through the use of a

cool down period, (where the machine

operates without heat), cool, static free

laundry is the end result. Dryer softener

sheets perform the same function by

depositing a chemical residue on both

the clothes and the interior of the dryer.

Over time, this coating may lead to per-

formance reductions in the dryer.

If fabric softening is desired, it is more

convenient, economical and beneficial to

the clothing if a liquid softener is auto-

matically dispensed while the clothes are

in the washing machine. Please see the

washing machine operating instructions

for directions on how to automatically dis-

pense a liquid softener.

Notes:

Knitted fabrics and flannel sheets tend

to shrink when washed for the first time

and also when dried. They should not

be overdried (Extra dry)!

Starched laundry can also be dried in

the tumble dryer.

Permanent press items should be

briefly spun in the washing machine be-

fore drying. Items which are prone to

creasing should not be dried in the

“PERMANENT PRESS- Normal +” - Pro-

gram.

Drip-dry shirts made of pure cotton

may tend to crease, depending on the

quality of their finish.

These items should be dried in a

“Hand iron”program.

Permanent press fabrics tend to crease

more as the size of the load increases.

This is particularly true of very delicate

fabrics. The load should be reduced to

2 kg or, if necessary, to 1.5 kg.

Do not dry new dark-colored fabrics

together with light-colored items as

they may discolor.

Notes on laundry care

Program selection

Functional description

An electronic sensor system monitors

the moisture content of the laundry.
